Sal's Pizza to Open in Norwell

About two weeks after reporting on a new Sal's Pizza opening up in Woburn, we have just learned that yet another location of this rapidly-growing chain of pizza places and Italian restaurants is going to be opening, this one south of Boston. According to a job posting on the Craigslist site, Sal's will be opening on Grove Street in Norwell (at the Route 53 intersection), a short distance south of the Hingham line. Sal's Pizza (and its sister restaurants Mary's Pasta and Sandwiches and Salvatores Italian Restaurant) are mostly located north of Boston, with no locations on the South Shore at the present time, so when it opens, the new Sal's in Norwell will indeed be the first time many South Shore residents get to try the chain's popular 19-inch pizzas and 1-pound calzones.

No specific date has been given as to the opening of Sal's Pizza in Norwell. As we get more information, we will post an update here.

The address for this soon-to-open pizza place in Norwell will be: Sal's Pizza, 9 Grove Street, Norwell, MA, 02061.

Located on Tremont Street in the heart of the South End neighborhood, Picco is a fairly small dining spot with a funky retro look that includes a soda fountain and a decent-sized outdoor dining area in the warmer months. While the restaurant is known mostly for its pizza and ice cream, it also offers soups, salads, sandwiches, calzones, and pasta dishes as well.
